Group of Ministers, core committee meet to review 2010 Commonwealth Games | The Group of Ministers (GoM) and the core committee responsible for the completion of the projects related
to the 2010 Commonwealth Games met to review and discuss the preparations for the mega event on Sunday. Addressing the media, Union Sports and Youth Affairs
Minister MS Gill expressed his satisfaction over the pace of work and hoped
all the tasks will be completed by the scheduled dates. “Stadium and everything
will be done and ready for the Commonwealth Games and much before that. That's
all I have to say, I have full understanding with Fennell (President of the Commonwealth
Games Federation) and I was sitting in the meeting in London and the discussion
went on in my presence, it was my proposal only,” Gill said. However, in contrast
to the views of Gill, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said: “I am still not
comfortable because I am nervous, but I think it will be done.” Among those who
took part in the meeting was noted movie director-scriptwriter Shyam Benegal,
who has been assigned the task of apt programmes for the opening and closing ceremonies.
Accompanied by another famous movie personality, Javed Akthar, the lyricist, Benegal
presented his proposals, which he said have been accepted. “The concept has been
more or less approved. It is the question of responsibility of OC (Organising
Committee) now to make it happen. As far as the core team is concerned, we have
given them the concept, both for the opening as well as the closing ceremonies.
And they have accepted it,” Benegal said. The Commonwealth Games 2010 to be held
between October 3 and 14 in New Delhi will be India's first major international
sports event after the 1982 Asian Games. |
